WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A controversy over Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama's former pastor has not hurt Obama, a new poll found on Thursday, even as more potential trouble surfaced involving his church.
A poll by the Pew Research Center said videos of sermons by the Rev. Jeremiah Wright and Obama's subsequent speech on race in America last week have attracted more public attention than any events thus far in the 2008 presidential campaign.

Obama had maintained a 49 percent to 39 percent advantage over New York Sen. Hillary Clinton in the race for the Democratic presidential nomination. Obama weathers Wright storm as new details emerge | Politics | Reuters
Seems to be panning out how I guessed- the 'Righteous Indignants' are those who are implacably opposed to Obama anyway, be it on the grounds he is a Democrat, or his policies, or that he is racially mixed. So they will grasp at anything. Most people, while not impressed by Rev. Wrights rhetoric, do not blame it on Obama- or so the Polls say.
Hillary seems to care nothing for the Democrat party, rather her own ego and 'win at all costs' attitude. She should drop out of the race- frankly her candidacy is dead in the water. There is even speculation that she would rather divide the Dem's and hand the Presidency to McCain rather than have the next President being Obama- because this would give her another shot in the next Presidential elections.
Incidentally, why is it the same Posters saying that the racial card should not be played in the US elections are the same one's playing the racial card here?
